Jeb Bush Wimping Out in Schiavo Case?

NewsMax ^ | 10/17/03 | Limbacher

[SwordofTruth]

There has not been a shred of information that proves the families contentions anywhere.

Again, you lie. You have a bad habit of doing this.

[itsahoot]

Obviously he does not have the backbone to do this.

Notice his brother has said nothing either. All you boomers better be wary of going to the hospital. Cheapest health care is none.

[itsahoot]

This is a terrible case---one that Jeb didn't cause---just got caught in the cross fire.

Yep and his inaction tells me a lot.

[BSunday]

me to get my mind right

That is the first comic relief I have had today. You just reminded me of the movie Cool Hand Luke "I got my mind right boss" =)

[Cold Heat]

Yeah stripper, why don't you go find some high voltage wires to strip?

It seems that I am doing just fine today.

How's yourself?

BTW, I suggest that some of you do a bit of introspective criticism of your behavior. This is not healthy.

[verity]

A governor can directly come to the aid of any of the State's citizens and is by law required to do so in this case

If he is in violation of the law, who is going to prosecute him?

[verity]

Read the briefs on the website

A brief is a formal outline that sets forth the main contentions along with supporting statements and evidence. It seems to me that briefs are therefore merely opinions or, in some cases, snug undershorts.

[sinkspur]

Yep and his inaction tells me a lot.

You've been bad-mouthing GW for two years.

Why should anybody listen to you?

[Xenalyte]

The problem is legally the parents are not next of kin, the "husband" is. It sucks, but that's the way it is.

Yep. And if someone popped the bastard, the parents would be next of kin again. And we all know what a damn shame that would be.

[itsahoot]

It seems that I am doing just fine today.

Yes, but don't the stink of libertarianism bother you. State sanctioned murder for profit. There is no other reasonable explanation.

[itsahoot]

You've been bad-mouthing GW for two years.

Only when he is wrong, however that is getting to be a habit with him. I voted for him, so I get to complain.

Besides Sink, I get to rattle your box, like I did when I killed your vote for Arnie.

[itsahoot]

Here is another example Sink. This issue could make him a one termer, and I don't want to see that.

"The Bush administration wants to push for some form of amnesty but hasn't come to terms with how to do that without offending its political base," David Ray, spokesman for the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), told CNSNews.com.

[Constantine XIII]

I hate it as well as you, but what can Jeb really do? He can't very well call up the state Guard, can he? :o/

Prayer bump...

[Howlin]

I pray to give Terri strength to hang on until Jeb or George Bush gets a spine.

What exactly is it that you think George W. Bush can do about this situation?

[Constantine XIII]

This is more akin to euthanasia for compassionate reasons.

Uhh...as far as I know, euthanasia is still illegal, and thank the Lord for that! Another never-to-be-sufficiently-damned stupid idea foisted upon us from socialist Europe.

Look, I'm sure that you're a great person and generally have a good head on your shoulders, but this is WRONG. Just like abortion, this is a way that these death-worshipers will use to get rid of what they consider unwanted people. This is already happening in places like the Netherlands, and if we ever get hit with socialized medicine, heaven forbid, look for our government to begin compassionately euthanising the old and sick in the name of you and me...to save money for the children, of course. It should also be noted that the definition of "unwanted" is naturally flexible, and tends to grow to include wider and wider circles of people over time.

We are endowed by our Creator with certain inaliable rights including life, liberty, and the pusuit of happiness. Men, however, have no right to death. Especially when they are not taking their own lives, but that of another living human being.

That is a universal truth, one worth fighting for.

[Cold Heat]

Well, I think you are reading way too much into this.

This should have never have gone to the courts, but now that it has, it should stand.

BTW, drug overdoses are administered to patients in the country every day at the families request. I suppose it is the known dirty little secret.

The starvation thing is too morbid however. I do not like that, but as you say, to do otherwise is illegal since the court is now involved it must be done legally.

Ya, it sucks, and sure, I am a nice compassionate guy. You can ask Mrs. wirestripper about that. But I do not get carried away with emotion. There is a proper place for that.

[Cold Heat]

That is a universal truth, one worth fighting for.

Hmmmmm......Then I take it that you are against the death penalty.

I am.

[Constantine XIII]

Is it legal just because the court says so? This is at the root of another grave problem, but one that would be a whole discussion on its own. Yes, people are "put down" like this every day, like someone's sick dog or cat. It is sad and terrible. Just because this is winked at doesn't mean that it isn't wrong. We have winked at small evils for far too long, and this is our reward. If the unjust deaths of innocents aren't worth our tears and labor at the very least, then what is?

[ctdonath2]

Explain exactly what Governor Bush can legally do.

As head of the state police, he can direct the cops to intervene in a murder-in-progress!!!
